The difference is I do not judge him. What he does, and does not do, does not effect me, nor my business in anyway. So what do I care how he runs it, who he is in business with, or what his ex-gf has to say about their personal lives? None of it is my business.

2. I do not know if gloat is the right word. But once you endure endless attacks on your business, and then eventually myself personally for days/months on end, yes. I am glad to see them gone. As would anyone.

3. Agreed on the last point. Took a few days off last weekend because of the new sites, and it was lovely. However, thread bashing me was apparently on page 1 most of the time. That said, it must have been heavenly.

Trust me. If I did not do business off the board(s) this would be the last place I would hang out. No one is going to endure the grief unless there was some benefit out of it.
